Interview RedWolf

Interview RedWolf

Today interview is with LoboRoj0 aka RedWolf, leader of Chilean community and current Judge of Chile...

- Tell us something about yourself?
I am LoboRoj0, current Judge of Chile and one of the country's leaders. I have had experience in eDom and other similar games, as president of the country and in all the ministries (defense, foreign relations, governor, etc). I have also been the leader of many alliances, although in eDominations I have not dedicated as much time to it. (I was really active in ATLAS/Peppa and B6, one of the first alliances in the game in 2017).

Personally, I consider myself a very good ally, and I try to convey that to all our friends, that with me and Chile, they will always have an ally who will unconditionally support them, regardless of whether that generates problems for us as a country (it is a national policy to give everything for the allies ). If you are against me, you will probably know in time how difficult it is to be my enemy. My work is generally more silent at the military level.

At the character level, I really like irony and with pride, I can say that I am the creator of many stupid phrases in the game such as "ADD RAPA NUI", "go to sleep Kaveh", "ATLAS IS ETERNAL", "ADD CHILOE" , "happy birthday zebosk" and others.

- Who is LoboRoj0 in RL?
My name is Felipe and I'm 29. I was born in Italy, but I have lived in Chile since I was 10 years old. My mother is Greek RL and my father, along with my grandfather, are Chileans, political exiles during the 70s in the Pinochet dictatorship.
I have been happily married for more than 2 years and I have a son who recently turned 1 year old. By profession I am a Civil Engineer. I am dedicated to the environmental management of physical resources, associated with the mathematical modeling of air quality, water quality, hydrogeology, hydrology, noise modeling, etc.

I really like art and sports. Lately I have dedicated myself to doing a lot of sport with my bicycle (an average of 40-60 km per route) and to drawing, where I am taking some art courses to develop my greatest hobby, which is tattoos (I have 20% of my tattooed body, hope to reach 80% ahaha).

- Why did you choose this nick? And you have another nick, RedWolf, in discord?
LoboRoj0 is RedWolf in Spanish. My original nickname is RedWolf77, which I have been using for quite some time. In the past, in other games, I have used different nicknames, such as Darth Revan, VargRod, among others. I play these types of games since 2009, so I have quite a few nicknames, but the one that has been around the longest is RedWolf / RedWolf.

Its meaning has to do with my RL political tendencies, associated with an anarchist insurrectionary movement that began in 2011 (when I entered university) and we called ourselves the "Red Wolves".

- What aspect of game you like the most and why?
I am a very veteran player and obviously I follow these types of games, more than for the mechanics or the interaction, but for the friendship and the opportunity to create an alternative life on the internet, sharing with players from many other parts of the world, knowing their culture, politics, thought, etc. That is what I like the most about the game, which is the "role" of playing in community.

Ingame I really like that the game is constantly updated and that the alliances move, in a very dynamic way, although lately we have entered a kind of slowness, since we do not have new players (in general). I think it is something that must be evaluated as a community on how to improve, in the end, the players are the main thing here and without players, although we have a lot of updates, the game is destined to die.

- What is most fun thing you did in edomi?
I really like the interaction with the administrator and allies. I generally write every day, reminding the Administrator that he has to include Chiloe as a region of Chile. Even he has promised to incorporate the island, but he is a liar.

I hope that one day I will add Chiloe, it would make me very happy :slight_smile: so if you are reading this Admin, keep your promise!

- You play for Chile. How is community there and what are specific about that community in your experience?
Chile is a small community, we are approximately 30 or 40 active players, of which we constantly have good interaction via WhatsApp. Our community is made up of 80% by Chileans and 20% by Latin American brothers, who are mostly in Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela. Many of us are friends of other games and the interactions are very constant.

- How are Chile relations with neighbors?
We are good allies with Colombia and Indonesia, also we have really good relationship with China. With Brazil, we had conversation in the past, but now they are a little inactive, so we dont have much interaction with them. With Argentina and Bolivia, we have a lot of friends there, so we are really cool, especially with Bolivia, who considerate our little brother. Peru is a special case...

- You had some conflict with Peru, was that TW or...
We kept them deleted for more than 6 or 7 months I think, since some discussions led us to go to war. In December several players returned and also, with the support of the Polish (in March), who for some strange reason blame us for their recent wipe (hahaha we helped anyway and it was to make them pay for what they did to us in the past), it was a bit Hard to keep the wipe, plus we had Albanians, North Macedonians, Canadians and some Germans fighting hard against notorious RWs and direct wars.

Now we are in a white peace, nothing formal. we had a TW who was stopped, because Hitman asked us to stop and now they are in war with Indonesia. Obviously, if this escalates to higher levels, we will consider making a bigger decision, but for now I don't think Indonesia has much trouble.

I consider Chile an unconditional ally. Whenever there is a war of an ally, you will see at least more than once the flag of Chile fighting more than usually a country. We dont have many political differences in Chile, since being so few, we are well united. Those who have differences with us, who are a small group of Chileans, are in other communities, so our interaction with them is very varied, with some it is super good (for example, pianfar in Colombia or Tatan in Spain) and with others I prefer not to specify.

- What do you don't like in (some) other players?
Speaking of the social, I dont like players who constantly mix a country or a community for differences with a singler player. There are some countries that don't like Chile for the simple fact that they get on badly with one or two players, and obviously, being a Chilean, I end up defending them.

I also don't really like that RL is mixed with the game, although inevitably we all end up in this and it is super normal that certain countries cannot be configured as allies, as is the case of Bulgarians-Turks, Greeks-North of MKD, etc.

Chile and Peru is a special case, although there are RL differences, the problems come further back (from other games), so being allies is a bit difficult. Maybe not impossible, but it doesn't make sense to be friends with everyone in a region either. In the military and economic aspects, I do not like players who play alone or who care more about their production than to fight for a community. This is a Chilean philosophy and I suppose that is why there are Chileans who are abroad, since they did not share the philosophy of giving everything for the allies.

- What do you think needs to be changed in this game? What would you like?
I don't know much about the business, since I have never been very involved in these aspects, but I think that there must be a well-defined profile of types of players for these types of games. Depending on the profile, the game should be updated.

I think that something very important is the first impression and obviously the visual one, in a game of the year 2021, it has to have characteristics of the time and humbly, without knowing how difficult it is to design a game, I think that here is the main problem of eDominations.

Additionally, I think that administrators should work together with different countries and see options to generate Babyboom. The times that I have had interaction with them, about trying to do that in Chile, almost 80% work is for us and they don't do much. I dont know how it will be in other communities, but in Chile and Latin America we have not felt much support from rebuilding a community, for the same reason, many of us have united in 2 or 3 countries in the area, instead of continuing to fight each other.

- How much time you spend here?
I am relatively active all day, not constantly, but if I enter the game 10 or 15 times in a day haha
I'm only more inactive when I have to do RL things, like going to work somewhere that doesn't allow me to have a nearby computer (I don't like to use the phone much) or I'm with my family.

- Tell me how is your character in game alike you in RL?
I am quite ironic and a good clown in the RL, I am generally the center of attention in my group of friends and work, which is quite similar to my way of being in the game, where I only interact constantly with those I love and not so much with people I am not interested in interacting with.
Obviously, when you have to be serious or take an important position, I do it 100%. I'm pretty intense in all kinds of things that I do and when I focus on something, I try to do it really well.

I also really like helping people, because of my way of seeing life. In RL I work with communities delivering food and supplies to foreigners and compatriots who have been affected by the Coronavirus crisis. Here in eDom I am the same, those who have played with me know that my money and my resources are for everyone, I do not keep them only for myself (I always donate large amounts of gold to other players or alliances).

- Do you think politics in game is like that in RL? Or maybe you like that you can influence it?
I think it closely resembles my anarchist ideals. For some it is a bit odd that I have these thoughts, especially for my money, but obviously it is a discussion that must be taken with a high eye. I think that if my way of seeing RL has influenced a lot with my way of playing, as I pointed out previously. Perhaps the problem is that I am often authoritarian and that has generated problems with those who are against me.

- Have you some message for other players?
Enjoy the game, save the e-kids, share your experience and keep fighting, and ofc, support us with Chiloe! ADMIN, ADD CHILOE!!!
